Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

With a flash, he was gone.

Zhang Jing vanished instantly from the Treasury of All Gods.

The very next moment, he found himself in a cave.

His gaze dropped to his tightly clenched left hand, which gradually opened to reveal twenty-five grains of River of Time Golden Sand.

Even though Zhang Jing knew this moment would come when he made his decision,

When it truly arrived.

His heart was plagued by an unconscious bout of nervousness.

All the Spiritual Pith he had gathered over the month had been used to exchange for the River of Time Golden Sand; the experience required for the upgrade of his pure Visualization Method.

For Zhang Jing.

This was undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble!

There were still four months left before the closure of Void.

If the Dharma Seed formed by the transformation of his Visualization Method did not perform as expected, Zhang Jing could almost foresee that his chances of inheriting the legacy were minimal.

Worse still!

After losing the guiding spirit light.

The Taoyin Sea Dragon Tao Intent's comprehension speed would inevitably decline significantly.

A perfect Tao Intent and Gold Nature Foundation may become an unattainable luxury.

Although the chances are slim.

But what if?

Time passed like a gentle stream.

Zhang Jing's hesitation began to fade away.

"If I succeed, I'll establish the Immortal Base; If not, the Gold Nature Foundation isn't so bad." A forced smile appeared on his face.

Yes.

With his current understanding of Tao Intent, he already had enough to create a Gold Nature Foundation equivalent to Senior Brother You.

This was something he had sensed vaguely when his Tao Intent broke through 10%.

Furthermore, he was still young.

Perhaps he could catch the next opportunity of the Void's reopening.

Having come to this realization.

Zhang Jing no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, then skillfully picked up a piece of River of Time Golden Sand and attached it directly to his forehead.

...

The next day.

The second-to-last piece of River of Time Golden Sand was tightly attached to Zhang Jing's forehead, emanating a faint, foggy glow.

The Jade Talisman slowly appeared.

The experience value behind the pure Visualization Method began to increase slowly but firmly.

Ultimately.

[Pure Visualization Method · Level 9 (76800/76800)]

Skill characteristics: Gather Spirit Light (low level), Red God Spirit Light (mid-level), Guide Spirit Light (high level)

For a moment.

The information of the pure Visualization Method on the Jade talisman, including the three skill characteristics behind it, all became blurred as if turned into chaos.

...

After an unknown period.

Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes and directly cast his gaze towards the Jade talisman.

All the information about the pure Visualization Method disappeared and was replaced by a brand new name.

[Extreme Dharma Seed: Tao Element Celebrating Cloud (Non-promotable)]

"Tao Element Celebrating Cloud?"

Zhang Jing silently recited in his mind.

The very next moment.

A streak of five-colored radiance shot directly out of the jade talisman and penetrated into Zhang Jing's consciousness.

That is —

Zhang Jing turned his focus to his consciousness.

Right in the center of his consciousness, a Dharma Seed resembling a cloud manifested, woven from five-colored mysterious Dao Patterns.

The five-colored lights swirled and danced, intertwining into chaos at moment, while separating at others.

Merely 'looking' at it.

He felt an inexplicable comprehension being birthed in his heart, which disappeared just as quickly as it emerged.

Subsequently

Before Zhang Jing could react.

A tsunami of profound information deluged him, overwhelming his consciousness instantly.

...

About half an hour later.

His consciousness gradually awakened.

His vision cleared bit by bit.

The confusion in Zhang Jing's eyes vanished in a blink; quickly replaced with palpable excitement.

His predictions were indeed accurate.

The pure Visualization Method underwent a qualitative change after evolving into a Dharma seed.

The five lights.

Gather, Red God, Guide, Origin, Chaos.

The five-colored lights intertwined to form the Tao Element Celebrating Cloud, possessing various mysterious uses. Naturally, the comprehension ability of Guide Spirit Light was incorporated, even becoming stronger.

A thought stirred in Zhang Jing's heart.

In the Sea of Knowledge, the light emitted by the Dharma Seeds of Tao Yuanqing cloud suddenly was greatly intensified.

In an instant.

Five-colored brilliance abruptly appeared above Zhang Jing's head, intertwining to form a five-colored celebratory cloud, emanating strands of profound mystery.

It was only a moment.

Zhang Jing felt as if the veil separating him from heaven and earth had been gently peeled back.

The entire world became incredibly clear in his perception.

The flow of every strand of wind, the trajectory of every cloud, even trees, stones, and even every speck of dust, seemed to hold and weave some kind of law and principle.

However, when Zhang Jing attempted to explore them, everything seemed to become hazy again.

This sensation was indescribable.

Zhang Jing unconsciously looked up.

In that moment, he was acutely aware of the location of the legacy and the two obstacles that separated him from his current position.

The Tao Yuanqing cloud above his head gradually dissipated.

"The Tenth Void?"

Zhang Jing's eyes flickered slightly.

At this moment, he had no hint of impatience left in his heart.

His mind communicated with the Dao Pattern in his palm.

[Spiritual Pith: 437,900]

"With 430,000 Spiritual Pith, it's worth trying to see how the Dao Yuanqing Cloud functions when comprehending the Tao Intent of the Taoyin Sea Dragon."

Zhang Jing chuckled softly at the thought.

His figure immediately disappeared from its original place.

...

Inside the Treasury of All Gods.

The gateway slowly opened.

"Zhang Jing is back! Still comprehending the Tao Intent of the Taoyin Sea Dragon?" Lord Ying asked, absorbed in twiddling a 'changing block', without looking up.

"Yes, I'm still going for that."

Zhang Jing nodded and grinned in response.

Hearing this.

Lord Ying acknowledged with a nod, signaling that he understood.

Then he saw it reach out with its small hand in the midst of its busyness and gently waved it.

Zhang Jing's figure disappeared on the spot instantly.

A few moments later.

The sound of the 'changing block' sliding abruptly vanished.

It seemed Lord Ying had thought of something. He stopped what he was doing and looked at the place where Zhang Jing had just been standing, a rare touch of regret flickered across his face, he said softly:

"It's been so long since we discovered the Aurora Yuan Magnetic Sea, but Zhang Jing still hasn't had an epiphany. Is it because he is lacking in fate?"

"Sigh~ What a pity."

...

On the cushion.

Zhang Jing activated the Dao Yuanqing Cloud Visualization Method and, in an instant, his spiritual sense and consciousness began to deplete at a frightening rate.

The five-colored Celebratory Cloud floated above his head, its spiritual radiance shifting and turning.

A faint nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

A long-absent sensation.

This time, he had not used Dao Enlightenment Tea or any other auxiliary comprehension aids to test the effectiveness of the Dao Yuanqing Cloud.

"Begin comprehension," he mentally commanded.

More than four hundred thousand Spiritual Pith, it can only be exchanged for less than two quarters of an hour to comprehend Tao Intent.

If it had been before.

Zhang Jing would have felt like the time passed by too quickly, and he hadn't understood anything.

But this time.

It was a little different from before.

As soon as the complete Taoyin Sea Dragon Dao Intent appeared, all sorts of scenarios and principles were captured by Zhang Jing.

Although the vast majority were still very vague, as if shrouded by a thick layer of gauze. But some of them, he could see very clearly.

A large number of new insights circulated in his heart.

...

The last bit of Spiritual Pith was exhausted.

The room returned to calmness once again.

The illusionary Jade Talisman slowly emerged.

[Taoyin Sea Dragon Dao Intent (163/1000)]

"The progress of the Dao Intent increased by twenty, and this time I only consumed 410,000 Spiritual Pith. Which calculates to needing two thousand Spiritual Pith to increase one point of Dao Intent."

Thinking of this.

A touch of excitement flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

That also meant.

Even if he remained in his current Eighth Void without moving, he would be able to completely comprehend the Tao Intent of the Taoyin Sea Dragon in just two months!

And if he were to enter the Ninth Void.

The required time would be shortened even further.

What's more.

This time, without the restriction of the Dao Attracting Spirit Light recovery period, Zhang Jing was completely free to comprehend at any time and place!

"Four months left…So my goal is to enter the Tenth Void within two months!"
